Dear Humans,

425. That’s how many minutes we have each school day. When you smash those three digits together, it looks like a lot. And some afternoons when the math lesson drags on it sure feels like a lot. 

But then I look at some of you and think about how I had your older brother or sister in my class what feels like not very long ago. Though the calendar says it was actually many, many, 425s ago. And oh how they fly.

So we do the best we can to fill each one. Some days we do better than others, but no matter what happened yesterday, we know tomorrow gives us a new 425.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
